In AD, BDNF mRNA, and protein levels were found to be decreased, possibly contributing to memory deficits and neuronal loss (reviewed in Toh, Ng, Tan, Tan, & Chan, 2018;Zhao et al, 2017). Similarly, BDNF expression is lowered in neurodegenerative conditions with Tau pathology (Belrose, Masoudi, Michalski, & Fahnestock, 2014).…”
